The Pacific: a Mediterranean in the Making?

Pages 265-277 | Received 21 Apr 2010, Published online: 04 Nov 2019
 

Abstract

This article examines the parallels between the developing Pacific Basin and the historical Mediterranean Basin. Humankind's expanding reach in transportation and communication technologies now makes it possible to integrate a basin the size of the Pacific. The Mediterranean provides some insight into the processes involved. Topics include questions of hegemony, “mirror cities” that interact with each other across the basins, and the dynamic tension between cosmopolitanism and localism.
